El Quiñon is the youngest city in Spain: a brand new town which was left incomplete when the financial crisis devastated the country’s economy. The first generation of children have now become teenagers, living in a ghost town that is trying to become a community. In Barataria, in the face of an uncertain future, this generation’s dreams and hopes reflect the complexities of contemporary Spain during its national elections.
This film has been nominated for the Short Film Award.
Barataria will be followed by a live online Q&A with Julie Nguyen Van Qui which will be live-streamed from the cinema to Selects.
